We just love talking about how much the Window to Mount Zion has accomplished over the past 3 years.
On tour with Window to Mount Zion
During last week’s Houses from Within Festival, this Mount Zion was featured. The Israeli public loved it as much as we do – and 60 people (!) came to a tour about what’s been going on recently on the Mount on Friday, October 19.
This is what the program had to say:
Mount Zion has known inter-religious conflict for centuries. Each culture left behind religious traditions, human stories and unique architectural legacies. Nowadays, Jews, Christians and Muslims all live on Mount Zion and Jewish, Christian and Muslim organizations and institutions are located and operate there. In recent years, the relations between them have been steadily improving. The two-hour tour, led by the Window to Mount Zion project of the Jerusalem Intercultural Center, will offer a contemporary and optimistic look at what is happening on Mount Zion today. It will include the Dormition Abbey, the Dajani family burial plot, David`s Tomb, the Greek Garden, the Jerusalem Intercultural Center, and more.
Many thanks to the partnership of Search for Common Ground and the Jerusalem Foundation in this project!
